A spokesperson for the Paradise, Calif.'s, Feather River Hospital said that the hospital reopening was a matter of when, not if, according to an article on the Chicoer website.
The hospital is the largest employer in Paradise, with more than 1,000 full-time and part-time employees. The spokesperson said there was still no timeline for reopening facilities.
The lower level of the hospital suffered extensive damage and many outbuildings, including offices, were destroyed.
